Word up.

I've been making the official mix since 2005.  So this is the 20th anniversary.  Before that I made mixtapes for road trips to Dallas but they didn't have the same feeling of purpose and intent, they were just mixes. 

These days, Red River Jams tend to be a musical journey in three acts.

Anything Celine Dion comes to mind.

anything by Journey - I wouldn't even buy the single

That's a good pick and it makes my list here as well. 

Yup, Sports is definitely on my list.

The original Misfits' entire discography is a no skip em. (you can easily skip all the reunion stuff with a different vocalist)

Oh man, we must be tracking, because last night I was thinking I need to remember when I log in this morning to put

Ten Summoner's Tales -- Sting

on the list.  I need to go back to the earlier albums you mentioned to refresh my memory on some of them.  What that means is, they might belong on my list, but I'm not sure, because I don't know if there are any must-skip tracks.  The fact is I have skipped them, and thus I don't remember them as well as most of the others.  

But I know for a fact TST is a no-skipper.  I have the European version with the track Everybody Laughed But You that wasn't included in the American release, and that one is a winner too. 

Sting's entire early career is a wet dream for a drummer.  Dream of the Blue Turtles was the masterful Omar Hakim.  Nothing Like the Sun was the magnificent Manu Katche.  Ten Summoner's Tales began Sting's decade-long collaboration with the incomparable Vinnie Colaiuta.  If those guys had statues, I would bow before them.  I know most people don't listen to music and focus on the drummers, and if they did, in many of these songs' cases one might wonder what the big deal is.  It's not like Rush or Tool where the drummer is an obvious centerpiece and called on to demonstrate insane chops.  But those guys are living clinics in how to play a regular song where the drums aren't the feature, but doing a million little things the average person may never notice and make the people who care about such wish they could imitate it.
